also, this isn't directly related to the Neuros but I am tryign to expand my knowledge in DVR technology, etc! Is it possible on DVR/PVR to record HD signals in true HD quality?

[12:01]

given powerful enough hardware, should be possible, i suppose

[12:06]

<crweb>

cyrus___: there is nothing that can really do it currently

[12:06]

<crweb>

nothing that i've heard of that is "consumer grade" i mean

[12:06]

<crweb>

nerochiaro: yeah during the build

[12:07]

<crweb>

if i don't sleep now, i'll be dead tonight. Later all

[12:07]

crweb: there are a bunch of config files in the images directory that tell the versions

crweb: later

hi all

hi

<MattJ>

Hi JoeBorn, nerochiaro

[15:35]

<JoeBorn__>

hi all

[15:35]

<gremlin[it]>

hi JoeBorn__

[15:35]

Hey there

[15:35]

JoeBorn__: How did the "decoder glass of unusual genius" work out?

[15:35]

Anyone know where the N2 release notes for the 2.28 firmware are? I can't find them on the Neuros site anymore

[15:40]

<JoeBorn__>

Lothsahn: greetings

[15:40]

<JoeBorn__>

is that an official release?

[15:40]

<JoeBorn__>

2.28?

[15:41]

<gremlin[it]>

JoeBorn loose the tail :P

[15:42]

JohnDesigner: still working on figuring out where to send it.

[15:44]

JoeBorn: oh, I see, lugradio isnt for another week or so.

[15:45]

yeah, 12 days, it'll be a miracle if it gets there on time.

[15:46]

I could go with you as your personal cordial courier.

[15:48]

Something of this critical importance should not be left in the hands of mail carriers

[15:48]

you have an excellent point!

[15:49]

I have a secret service black suit and everything!

[15:50]

pretty good at covertly speaking into my sleeve also, which is a key element to the concept.

[16:16]

JohnDesigner, is your suit tailored?

[16:16]

mine is.

[16:17]

bought in hong kong.

[16:17]

and the sleeve is so 70s.

[16:17]

now you talk into an ear bud mic.

[16:18]

vmarks: thats another way to go, but everyone knows that the earbuds are not mature tech so you can expect to pickup local radio on it

[16:18]

vmarks: my suit is specially tailored so it *seems* like its one size too small

[16:19]

that way I have even more stealthyness due to not *looking* like I have my act together.

[16:20]

the bulging buttons are a special kind of camoflauge

[16:21]

its a trick I picked up from Matt Foley.

[16:21]

* vmarks assigns JohnDesigner to the field office in alaska.

[16:23]

nice, I'd be the first line of defense along the bering strait. I feel honored to be that integral to the plans!

[16:56]

<MattJ>

Grr

[16:57]

<MattJ>

lighttpd and Apple are conspiring against poor little wooble

[17:04]

lighttpd?

[17:09]

<MattJ>

The web server on the OSD

[17:09]

oh, yes, right, of course *ahem*

[17:13]

<MattJ>

Grr

[17:13]

<MattJ>

Looks like I have to recompile lighttpd anyway, new release

[18:59]

<MattJ>

:/

[18:59]

<MattJ>

I need pcre support in lighttpd

[18:59]

<MattJ>

and it's not having it

[19:06]

<MattJ>

ooook

[19:06]

<MattJ>

otoh libpcre is quite a dependency

[20:13]

<crweb>

MattJ yeah, i don't see that happening...

[20:13]

<MattJ>

I'm trying to find a workaround

[20:14]

* MattJ wishes lighttpd would switch to Lua (which has its own [small, fast] pattern library) for configuration

[22:43]

* sussman waves

[22:50]

is there a way to tell if an .mpg file is h.264 encoded, vs. mp4 encoded?

[22:51]

my new OSD stutters badly when playing back all of my home movies from usb disk, but not when it plays back video it encoded itself.

[22:51]

so I'm wondering if my home DV .mpg's were somehow encoded in h.264... or at too high a resolution?

[22:58]

<MattJ>

sussman: mplayer -info or VLC will probably tell you

[22:58]

<MattJ>

I'm no expert on video codecs though :)
